PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING
Coins and medals are sold at so much per lot and no lot will be sepa-
rated The auctioneer will accept an advance of 1 cent up to 50c., then 5c.
up to $2.50, when 10c. advance must be bid, up to $10, when no advance
under 25 cents will be accepted. You can bid anything up to 50c., after
that the bid must be 55c., or 60c. Such offers as 51c., $1.01, etc., are
unavailable.
Auction sales are strictly for cash. Parties unknown to me and bidding
for the first time, must give bank or other reliable reference.
Forward your bids as early as possible, as thousands of bids have to be
entered. Do not make ridiculously low bids, such as 10 and 15c. on foreign
silver coins worth several times over as bullion. Write your bids plainly,
with a pen if practicable. I have taken special pains to carefully and fairly
describe each lot.
Where the number of pieces in a lot is not given after the description,
there is but one piece in the lot.
The coins, etc. , in each lot are different unless otherwise described.
Be sure you bid on the lot you wish to buy.
All coins etc., are genuine unless otherwise described.
My charge for executing bids will be 5 per cent. No charge made for
bidding except for lots actually purchased. Remit by money order or New
York draft, as the usual exchange fee will be deducted from checks.
We will price your catalogue for $1.00.
